Low-Water Pressure Impedes Fire Crews On Detroit, Hamtramck Border

DETROIT (WWJ) – Firefighters trying to control a blaze at a vacant home in northern Detroit have not been able to access any water.

The fire broke out early Tuesday morning at a home near the intersection of King and Brush streets, just south of Holbrook Street on the Detroit-Hamtramck border.

Traffic Reporter Lance Howard was over the scene in WWJ’s Chopper 950.

“We see at least one large ladder truck and a couple of other pumper trucks trying to battle this fire,” Howard said just before 7 a.m. “It does appear that this two- to three-story house is abandoned, but unfortunately, it looks like fire crews have not been able to get any water on the fire as of yet.”
